Kutztown Fire & Rescue

310 Noble Street
PO Box 241
Kutztown, PA 19530
610-683-8703


Description
Long and unpredictable hours; constant training; life-altering experiences; death-by-powerpoint; constant emotional rollercoaster; and constant scrutiny from others.

In return for giving us and your community everything you have 100% of the time, you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of doing something good for others, a better appreciation for life, the occasional "insider knowledge", and the unmatchable, indescribable camaraderie that comes with being a member of the largest "gang" in the world. Plus, you'll get to ride in a firetruck with its "woo-woo's" on.

Volunteer Category: Firefighter, EMT, Fundraising, Department Support


Requirements
When you fill out the "Connect with our Department Today" portion, please indicate which branch of the department you are interested in. (interior firefighter, exterior firefighter, auxiliary member or Junior firefighter)

Junior firefighters may join at the age of 14.

18 years of age or older: Must be able to preform inhuman maneuvers and any task at any given time; ability to maintain professional composure under extremely intense pressures where you are the difference between another human living or dying; must be able to be committed at incident scenes for undetermined amounts of time, forgoing meals, bathroom breaks, and all "necessities" that you are accustomed to. Basically, we're looking for Super-humans. If you'll volunteer to walk through the door, we'll give you everything you need to go from there.

If you still want to do this and meet these criteria, the Kutztown Fire & Rescue wants YOU! WE NEED YOU! Go to https://kutztownfire.com and click on "Application" in the left menu to print our application out; or you can stop by whenever you see us at the station to pick one up. Applications are only received in person at the firehouse. We are there every Tuesday night from 6:30pm-9:00pm, before we begin our weekly training at 7:00pm.
